I am not a cat person but I have never been without a cat. We had 10 died/ran away inside a couple of years and 4 of them were poisoned by antifreeze. The one we have now refused to let anything happen him and he has been here from the start I believe….maybe he tricked the others because I have noticed that neighbour cats don’t stay for too long…

I am deathly afraid of robots yet some of my favourite films are robot orientated. My friends and family think it is funny to buy my daughter the stupid robotoys. One Christmas I decided to be brave and buy her something called Blu Blu the Baby Dolphin. My husband collected it and left it in the kitchen but I hadn’t noticed it. My neighbour came round for coffee and next thing I hear crazy noises, found what it was and ran round the kitchen screaming…. Watch this and this then I dare you to tell me this frickin thing isn’t scary!!

I went grey at the age of 12 so I dye it. I am constantly asked if my hair is natural and I reply that it is dyed and every time I am about to give the colour name I am told they meant my curls. I have yet to learn that folk mean my curls and it has been the same for years. Trust me, no one would pay to have their hair made like mine and if they did then they would be crazy!!

I am addicted to peanut butter and lemon curd sandwiches and Crunchy Nut cornflakes. I cannot have any of these things in the house as I would finish them in one day…there is no self-control when it comes to these things.

I am not massively into chocolate bars but if you offer me dark chocolate I would bite your fingers off, the darker the better.

I have sung on 4 records.

My famous brownies are actually made from a recipe I found for hash brownies! I had a thought one day that the best recipe would be made by stoners and went hunting for a hash brownie recipe. I found one and it looked decadent so I tried it out, it was more than I expected! I make it for our church teas and everyone is aware they are hash brownies but no one is sure if they have hash in them, they just know they feel great after eating them. I’ll let you in on a secret, there is none in them however from time to time I do add tinned dark cherries to make them more like Black Forest Gateaux!

Nominees

This is soo difficult! I am just going to name the first 5 people that come to mind because I don’t like leaving people out.

Afraid of robots, you are the first one that I hear that has a phobia of robots, but it’s not a difficult phobia to avoid after all, of course if you buy the robot yourself ;-). I can’t even remember what peanut butter tastes like.. I like it but it’s not really eaten a lot here. Now you do make me crave for chocolate! This was fun to read, great tag. I think I have 15 tags to do (or even more) so you’re not alone ;-).

Dark chocolate rocks but peanut butter with chocolate is the mutts! Mmmmmmm…. I am so afraid of robots that even people talking about robotics used in surgery makes me petrified. I have demanded that no robotic equiptment be used on me. General conversation I have gotten up and walked out. It is horrid. Oh you know the kids rides that move when they put money in? Scary robots! People in animal suits could well be robots! They will take over the world!!

omg, I had such a laugh reading some of your answers- Hash brownies and some of those gifs were just brilliant! 😀 you always share the most interesting things about yourself… you’ve sung on 4 records? Is there anything in this life you haven’t done? 🙂 Great stuff!

My husband actually found 2 of the albums today when we were going through things to donate lol our daughter has never heard them so we will have to stick them on. I have done some amazing things and never realise that it isn’t things that people generally do 😂 The hash brownies has been the topic of many a debate 😉
